Dear Parishioners OUR LENTEN SERVICES This year at our midweek Lenten Services I propose to preach each evening on Jesus’ last words on the Cross. The words spoken by our Lord Jesus will give as an insight into his feeling of rejection and suffering and how he responded to his executioners knowing he was an innocent man. Lent is a time when we focus on our relationship |
|
with God and how we might grow closer to him in our 40 days observance. This year endeavour to come, as often as possible, to hear about how Christ died for our sins. The seventh word will be the central focus of our Good Friday Liturgy. First Word Jesus spoke to His Father as He was nailed to the cross. “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23:34 Second Word Jesus spoke to the thief who was being crucified next to Him. “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in paradise.” Luke 23:43 Third Word Jesus spoke to His mother Mary and His disciple John who were standing together nearby. To His mother: “Dear woman, Behold, your son!” John 19:26 To His disciple: “Behold, your mother!” John 19:27 Fourth Word About the ninth hour Jesus cried out to His Father with a loud voice. “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken Me ?” Matthew 27:46 . . . . . . . . Fifth Word Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, exclaimed thirst. “I am thirsty.” John 19:28 Sixth Word The sixth word was a statement of triumph. “It is finished.” John 19:30 Seventh Word Jesus cried out to His Father with a loud voice. “Father, into Thy hands I commit My spirit.” Luke 23:46 Having said this, Jesus breathed His last, bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
